What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Event-free Survival

    MRIs of the head and spine. Number of participants with event free survival at 60 months is reported.

    Measured: Up to 60 months.

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival will be measured at the end of study. number of surviving participants is reported.

    Measured: up to 5 years

  3. Intellectual Competence Measured by IQ Score: Week 8

    Neuropsychological testing will be performed after radiation in completed. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 5th edition (WISC-V) measures intellectual competence in Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed. The average score for the scale is fixed at 100, with a standard deviation of 15. Higher scores indicate higher levels of intellectual competence and a better outcome.

    Measured: Week 8

  4. Intellectual Competence Measured by IQ Score: Month 24

    Neuropsychological testing will be performed after radiation in completed. IQ score is reported. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 5th edition (WISC-V) measures intellectual competence in Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed. The average score for the scale is fixed at 100, with a standard deviation of 15. Higher scores indicate higher levels of intellectual competence and a better outcome.

    Measured: Month 24

  5. Intellectual Competence Measured by IQ Score: Month 60

    Neuropsychological testing will be performed after radiation in completed. IQ score is reported. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 5th edition (WISC-V) measures intellectual competence in Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed. The average score for the scale is fixed at 100, with a standard deviation of 15. Higher scores indicate higher levels of intellectual competence and a better outcome.

    Measured: Month 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Carboplatin, Vincristine and 24 Gy in people with Metastatic Medulloblastoma and High Risk Supratentorial PNET, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jan 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event-free Survival (time frame: Up to 60 months.). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2022.
